[QUOTE="Son of the Serpent, post: 7850183, member: 7015476"] Tbh the idea that evil people are less cooperative than good people is unrealistic too. Actually id say on average they are slightly more cooperative. All the major reasons either good or evil people may become uncooperative in a group are either in common or have a reflection. Except one. Evil people are a bit less likely to let ideologies of virtue in particular turn themselves against eachother. Ideology still can, but generally ideology of virtue (which can massively conflict) do not. Evil people cooperate slightly better on average as a result. Betrayal is totally something good people can do to. But evil people dont feel compelled to for moral reasons and therefore are actually less likely to do so to an already established ally and even if they do they dont have the likelyhood to be impossible to reason with due to be utterly convicted in their belief thay they are right. Can still happen. Unlikely though. And it almost never will be on grounds that make them feel righteously justified. Disclaimers: People who are convinced what they do is not evil are arguably doing evil acts but are not themselves evil and arent included in the demographic of which i speak. Chaotic evil is not any sort of special exception as they are completely ununique in their capacity for double cross. Consider the other two chaotic alignments. Just as treacherous. Especially chaotic good. Also this is meant to apply to evil people in an evil group who truthfully considers eachother allies for some time (years) at the inception of the group. Evil people understand the value of loyalty. They are evil. Not stupid. [/QUOTE]
